Storyline

One day, while hunting, the young khan Tauekel met the beautiful Aisula, the shepherd's daughter, and brought her to the palace, soon celebrating a magnificent wedding. Aisula was not interested in palace intrigues. The girl fed snow-white pigeons, took care of greenhouse plants, quenched her curiosity by talking to a wise astronomer at the observatory. Love transformed Khan Taukel, belligerence began to grow into wisdom, awakening mercy and kindness. But the insidious sister of Khan Karashash, who has long dreamed of power, took advantage of her brother's forced departure and slandered the shepherd's daughter, spreading a rumor that she had given birth to two puppies.

The year is 1955, and a great flood is coming to Northfork, Montana. A new hydroelectric dam is about to be installed in the mountains above the town, ready to submerge the valley in the name of progress. It is the responsibility of a six-man Evacuation Committee to relocate the townsfolk to higher ground. Most have duly departed, but a few stubborn stragglers remain – among them a priest caring for a sickly orphan, a boy whose fevered visions are leading him to believe he is a member of a roaming band of lost angels desperately searching for a way home.
